![Question](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I saw my second TSX (not in a dealers lot) in a grocery parking lot and got to talk to the owner for a little while. He had a red 6 speed non-nav and had the MDX body side molding painted and installed. It looked really good and didn't mess up the lines of his car. Someone else here had gotten the Accord body side molding but I remember it was a real pain for him to install without drilling holes for the mounting brackets. The MDX kit is a peel and stick application, so it would be much easier. Since it isn't offered in our colors and it would have to be painted, would a ding chip the paint on it ? Has anyone else tried this?

woah, this is the first time i've heard of this. i need to see some pix of this. as for the body kit for the TSX, it uses a combination of adhesive and clips/bolts too. I'm not sure if acura makes any kits that just stick on??? But man, i wish you had a digi cam with you

Accord side mouldings on a TSX
The MDX mouldings sound like they would be alot easier...but it would be nice to see exatly how they look. But you can't beat the look of NO side mouldings...yum.

Wow, I had forgotten about that thread. Although I think the car looks better without the side body moldings, I would like them on my TSX.
The Good News is that in Europe (Honda Germany) they show the side molding option for the Accord. It _must_ fit the TSX since the body is the same. I posted a message on this a while back. I could more easily live with moldings rather than dings in the sheet metal.
Have a look at the Euro-Accord's moldings at this thread (along with many other accessories). Scroll down to my posting edited on 5 August 03:

The next question is from whom can we order such moldings?
I visited Honda's UK Web site, but I found it so poorly organized that I could not locate their accessories. One would think that they offered the same...
Aye! I can't order my moldings yet anyway, since I'm waiting and waiting and waiting for my TSX to arrive much later this year.

OK, we've heard about the MDX mouldings, saw pictures of the Accord side mouldings and a cut & paste of the TSX mouldings. Does anybody have pics of actual TSX mouldings installed to show and how much drilling is required for the TSX OEM mouldings? I'm about ready to have mine installed and starting to think otherwise. ($70 + inst'l)
